SBS DC Dual Kappa KV9 demi-jet Carbon Classic Derived from their more than 25 years of experience in World Superbike & Moto GP championships, and inspired by their successful championship-winning SBS DC Dual Carbon pads, SBS has introduced a touch of modern technology for classic bikes with pads formulated specifically for classic racing.
The Kappa KV9 is a two-version, visor-less open face helmet with a retention strap for goggles. The KV9 'Varadero' has a metal flake shell finish and comes in gold, black and 'bordeaux', all matching a black inner lining; the 'Classic' has a modern graphic design - a black wavy swathe horizontally crossing the green, opaque yellow or shiny red shell. Made in techno-polymer and weighing just 900 grams, it features a non-allergenic and removable
lining and quick release/micro-adjustable ratchet strap. Kappa also offers a range of goggles suitable for this helmet with either "Total Black" or "Chrome" outer rims.

Modified and developed for production with the same processes, machinery and quality inspections as the DC, and tested and approved in European classic endurance series races by their partners, the SBS DC Dual Carbon Classic is said to deliver a smooth initial bite, ideal for the construction of classic motorcycle front forks and superior brake power and front-end feel. The high thermal stability and reduced disc wear due to transfer film technology make the DC Classic a versatile, reliable and durable pad that brings modern race bike braking standards and technology to older bikes.
